Since January 20, 2017, the day Trump officially declared his intent to run for re-election, his campaign has put $1.9 million of donor money into the President’s private business DanAlexander21

None of Trump’s businesses have accepted more cash from the campaign than Trump Tower Commercial LLC, an entity that holds office and retail space inside the president’s most famous New York City building. So far, the re-election effort has paid $1.3 million to Trump Tower Commercial, in which the president maintains a 100% interest. The Republican National Committee, working in coordination with the campaign, shelled out an additional $225,000 from September 2017 to January 2018. Of the $1.

The next-biggest beneficiary is the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. The president’s second home on Pennsylvania Avenue has taken in $126,000 of Trump campaign money, according to an analysis of FEC filings. Those payments, however, seem to be slowing down. From October to December of 2019, the campaign paid no money directly to the D.C. hotel.

More campaign contributions headed to Trump Plaza LLC, which leases a parking garage, retail space and two brownstones near Third Avenue and 61Street in Manhattan. So far, Trump Plaza LLC, which the president owns outright, has collected $84,000 from the campaign, according to FEC filings. The documents list those expenses as “rent,” though they do not say what exactly the Trump campaign is renting. The reelection effort does not seem to be using Trump Plaza LLC’s retail or parking spaces.

As long as the Trump campaign is paying fair-market rates, all of these transactions appear to be legal. When asked about the payments, a Trump campaign official ignored a detailed set of questions and sent a general statement. “The campaign pays fair-market value under negotiated rental agreements and other service agreements in compliance with the law,” the statement said. “The campaign works closely with campaign counsel to ensure strict compliance in this regard.
